It is abnormal for the upper hose to be hot and the lower hose to be cool with the fan running on a Vios. If both the upper and lower hoses are hot, it indicates a problem with the radiator or the fan. Under normal circumstances, the upper hose of the radiator should be hot, while the lower hose should not be, as one is responsible for water intake and the other for outflow. Here is some relevant information about the car radiator: 1. Introduction: The car radiator generally refers to the heat exchanger (automobile radiator). The radiator is part of the car's cooling system, and the radiator in the engine's water cooling system consists of three parts: the inlet chamber, the outlet chamber, the main plate, and the radiator core. 2. Installation methods: Radiators can be installed in three ways: same-side inlet and outlet, opposite-side inlet and outlet, and bottom inlet and outlet. Regardless of the method, the number of pipe fittings should be minimized, as more fittings not only increase costs but also potential risks.

What are the impacts of idling the car for 10 minutes to warm up?

The impacts of idling the car for 10 minutes to warm up include: 1. Increased fuel consumption; 2. More carbon deposits; 3. Air pollution. The harm of not warming up the car is: Engine wear, as the engine oil settles at the bottom when the car is cold, leaving the engine internals in a state of dry friction. The method to warm up the car is: After starting the vehicle, let it idle for 1 to 2 minutes until the engine coolant reaches normal temperature, then you can drive. The purposes of warming up the car are: 1. After the car has been parked for a long time, the engine oil flows back into the oil pan, leaving the upper part lacking lubrication. Warming up the car serves to lubricate it; 2. When the engine has not reached its operating temperature, the fuel supply system cannot effectively vaporize the gasoline completely due to the low temperature. Warming up the car can improve efficiency; 3. It helps the transmission gear oil to lubricate the upper part of the transmission.

Does the six-speed manual-automatic transmission belong to AT or CVT?

Six-speed manual-automatic transmission belongs to the AT transmission. The six-speed manual-automatic transmission refers to a gearbox that combines six-speed manual shifting with automatic shifting. Manual-automatic transmission means integrating manual gear shifting and automatic gear shifting in a car. Essentially, a manual-automatic transmission is still a type of automatic transmission, simulating the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. How to start the transmission: The car can only be started in P or N gear. To shift out of P gear, the brake must be pressed. Usage of N gear start: When the vehicle is to be driven forward immediately after starting, you can first turn on the power (without starting the engine), press the brake, shift to N, then ignite, and subsequently shift to D gear to drive forward directly. This avoids the reverse impact on the transmission when shifting from P gear through R gear after ignition. Another function is that in case of sudden engine stall while driving, you can quickly shift to N gear to restart the engine, ensuring safety. Remember never to shift into N gear for coasting in an automatic transmission car. Many people coast in neutral with manual transmissions, but never do so with an automatic transmission. Also, never shift into P gear while driving an automatic transmission car.
